Continuing its longstanding commitment to supporting sports and local communities, Betsson Greece was once again present at one of the island’s most anticipated sporting events.

Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, the Crete Half Marathon has become a flagship event for the region, attracting thousands of runners from Greece and abroad. Participants took part in the 21.1 km, 10 km and 5 km races, as well as children’s and inclusive races for people with disabilities, reinforcing the event’s inclusive spirit.

Betsson brought vibrant energy to the event, with its lively fan zone becoming a central meeting point for runners and spectators alike, offering gifts, activities and smiles throughout the day. Representing the company at the event, Thanos Marinos, Managing Director of Betsson Greece, took part in the awards ceremony and emphasised Betsson’s commitment to initiatives that promote sports and celebrate the rich culture of Crete.

Adding to the day’s excitement, OFI football players Giannis Theodossoulakis and Manolis Faitakis joined the festivities, engaging with participants, posing for photos and sharing words of encouragement, further amplifying the spirit of community and togetherness that defines the event.

Through its sponsorship of the International Crete Half Marathon, Betsson Greece once again underlines its dedication to promoting sports, fair play and social inclusion.
